Hawaiian Frittata

Eggs are not just for breakfast. A frittata is a great way to use eggs as an evening meal since you can spice it up in so many ways. My favorite omelet at a local cafe is the Hawaiian omelet with ham, pineapple and bacon. These ingredients are also delicious in a frittata, but be warned there just might not be any left for breakfast the next day!

Ingredients:
4-6 pieces nitrate free bacon
12 Cage Free Omega-3 eggs
1 1/2 cups of diced nitrate free ham
1 pound fresh pineapple diced (or 1/2 pound to your liking)
1/2 sweet onion diced
3 small sweet peppers diced
1 clove fresh garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
Sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Method:
1.) In a large cast iron skillet, cook bacon until crisp then remove. While bacon is cooking, whisk eggs together with oregano, sea salt and black pepper in a large bowl.
2.) Add onions to bacon fat and saute until tender. Add in garlic and sweet peppers. Saute an additional 3-4 minutes. Add in ham and pineapple.  Cook 3 more minutes or until veggies are tender.
3.) Spread mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Turn up the heat until layer is sizzling hot. Add in chopped up bacon, or serve whole on the side. Pour eggs evenly over the mixture and turn down the heat to low. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes. Make sure the heat is not too high or the bottom will burn.
4.) Place skillet under broiler and cook for 3-4 more minutes or until the eggs are cooked through. Be careful not to burn top of eggs.
5.) Remove from heat and slice into pie shaped wedges.

*For Primal option, melt grass fed cheese on top of frittata and or serve with all natural sour cream.

Ham & Kraut with Sweet Potatoes

Bavarian style sauerkraut is an amazing mix of sweet, sour, and salty that is the perfect pair with meat and potatoes.  You can find a variety of authentic German sauerkraut at the grocery store for a quick and delicious meal perfect for a special occasion or week night dinner.  Just remember to stick with sauerkraut in a glass jar and free of nitrates and preservatives.  Try it with all natural polish sausage or ham and don't forget the potatoes!

Ingredients:
1/2-1 pound sliced nitrate free or all natural ham
1 jar of German Sauerkraut with Wine (Hengstenberg brand from Whole Foods)
1 large sweet potato

Method:
1.) Empty jar of sauerkraut into Dutch oven or pot.  Add 1/2 water.  Heat over medium heat until hot.
2.) Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of EV coconut oil in a large cast iron skillet.  Working in batches, cook the ham slices on each side until lightly browned.  Add ham to Dutch oven and remove from heat.
3.) Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in large cast iron skillet and cook diced sweet potatoes until soft and lightly brown.
